F^AIRBANKS   &   CO., 


The  ''  Stand-itprigW   Ptcmp. 


Merciitio  says  to  Romeo:  *'Thou  hast  worn 
out  thy  Pump/'  No  wonder!  Romeo  was  an 
active  lady  and  the  ptimps  of  Verona  were  desti- 
tute of  the  modern  improvements. 


The  ''Common  Sense''  Pump. 


This  Pump  stands  low  upon  its  platform,  the  suction  pipe  extendin«» 
down  from  the  lower  part  of  the  chamber  to  the  water. 

The  person  using  the  pump  stands  erect,  and  moves  the  lever  back- 
ward and  forward,  swaying  the  body  so  as  to  bring  its  weight  in  aid  of 
the  action.  Great  force  may  be  thus  exerted  without  violent  exercise  of 
muscular  power. 

Water  is  lifted  and  discharged  at  each  stroke  of  the  piston,  which 
oscillates  in  the  barrel-shaped  chamber. 


Man  will  harness  a  horse  to  a  wagon  so 
that  the  weight  of  the  animal  becomes  useful  in 
drawing  the  load. 

Oh,  for  a  Bergh  to  enforce  pity  on  galled 
and  strained  Men ! 


Figure    ilbistraiing    the   Interior   and  the   Action    of 

the  Pump.

Shakespeare  refers  to  "  Gabriel's  Pump§," — 
which  were  nothing  like  these.  "Tcmpora 
mutantur    et    nos    niiilamiir    in    fills."  "  Times 

change^  and  Pumps  are  subject  to  the  same  laws'' 


Action  of  the  Pump. 


The  oscillating  piston  has  two  flap  valves,  and  beneath  it  is  a  sta- 
tionary diaphragm  having  similar  valves. 

The  Pump  is  double-acting.  Each  motion  of  the  lever  draws  in 
water  on  one  side  of  the  chamber  from  the  suction,  and  discharges  jvater 
from  the  chamber  on  the  other  side. 

In  the  cut,  the  lever  is  passing  over  to  the  right,  and  the  ■\Tater 
from  the  suction  lifts  the  valve  c,  and  flows  into  the  left  chamber ;  at 
the  same  time,  water  in  the  right  chamber  raises  valve  6,  and  flows 
above  the  piston.  This  wattr  runs  out  at  the  spout  when  the  lever 
makes  its  return  motion,  during  which  the  valves  c,  6,  will  be  down,  and 
valves  a,  c?,  raised. 


The. Farmer  threw  azvay  the  sickle  and  wel- 
coined  the  Cradle  which  he  could  szving  erect. 

We  bring  a  blessing  to  the  back-bowed 
Pumper.

The  *' Sluthour''  Force  Pump. 


f'Alas,  no'w !   I  pray  you,  Avork  not    §o   hard" 

— as  the  gentle  Miranda  said  to  the  slave. 

Men  much  better  looking  than  Caliban  have 
strained  themselves  unnecessarily  with  wretched 
pumps. 


The  Sluthour  Force  Pump. 


When  used  as  a  Force  Pumpj  the  pump  barrel  is  closed  on  top, 
an  air  chamber  put  on  to  make  the  flow  uniform,  and  an  eduction  pipe 
attached.  » 

The  handle  is  connected  by  a  yoke  to  the  axis  of  the  pump  piston, 
which  is  constructed  as  in  the  lift  pumps  shown  on  othor  pages. 

The  length  of  handle  and  construction  of  the  pump  enable  a  stream 
to  be  thrown  with  great  force. 


Nature  has  taught  man  to  stand  upright  on 
his  feet.  The  most  effective  mode  of  working  is  by 
a  swaying  action  of  the  body,  bringing  the  weight 
into  play.

Report  of  J-udges  at  the  Second  Interna- 
tional Industrial  Exhibition  of  the 
Mechanics  Institute, 


I  <^>  I 


To  the  Exhibition  Ccrnmittee  : 

Gentlemen  : — The  undersigned,  Judges  in  department  5  and  group 
2,  report  that  they  carefully  and  impartially  examined,  according  to 
"  Instructions  to  Judges  "  transmitted  to  them,  the  several  competing 
articles  submitted  to  their  judgment,  and  that  the  following  are  their 
conclusions.  The  best  article  of  those  intended  to  accomplish  the  samo 
object  is  mentioned  first,  and  the  remaining  articles  of  the  samo  class  ia 
their  relative  order  of  merit : 

No.  4{.>1,  House  Pump ;  No.  492,  Well  Pump ;  No.  493,  Ship 
Pump ;   entered  for  competition  by  A.  Sluthour,  Cleveland. 

For  Efficiency, 

Accessibility  of  Working  Parts, 

and  Eco7tomy  of  Space. 

The  large  size  of  the  pump  bucket  a,dmits  of  the  use  of  valves  much 
larger  than  usual,  and  the  slow  motion  of  the  working  parts  renders  its 
action  very  easy.  We  therefore  deem  it  worthy  of  being  awarded 
the  First  Order  of  Merit. 

I  hereby  certify  the  above  to  be  a  correct  copy  of  the  Report  of 
Judges  on  entry  of  491,  492  and  493,  and  that  they  were  awarded  a 
large  Medal,  First  Premium,  for  the  best  Hand  Pump.

I  can  fully  appreciate  a  pump  that  can  be  relied  upon,  as  the  Sluthour 
Pumps  can  be  ;  besides  they  throw  a  larger  volume  of  water  than  any 
Bilge  Pump  I  have  seen.  We  lifted  the  water  12  or  14  feet,  and  two  men 
worked  a  pump  that  threw  a  volume  of  water  equal  to  an  ordinary 
ship's  pump,  that  would  have  required  three  or  four  men  to  work. 
I  consider  their  great  value  to  consist  in  being  able  to  pump  chips,  rags, 
and  blocks  of  wood  without  clogging.  Ships  generally  spring  a  leak  in 
Btormy  weather,  and  the  excessive  rolling  and  pitching  of  a  vessel  dis- 
lodges every  movable  object  in  the  bilge,  and  the  current  of  bilge  water 
to  the  pumps  carries  them  along,  so  that  in  time  the  dirt  collects  around 
the  pump  suction  pipes,  and  no  pump  is  of  any  use,  coniparatively, 
without  they  can  work  it  through  them  and  overboard.

Gentlemen : — The  Sluthour  Pump  we  got  of  you  excels  anything  in 

the  shape  of  hand-pumps  I  have  ever  seen.      The  one  we  have  lifts  the 

water,  sand  and  dirt  thirty-one  feet,  and  does  not  clog  at  all ;  two  men 

working  it  easily,  discharging  fifty  gallons  per  minute.     I  am  pleased  to 

say  wc  consider  it  superior  to  any  pump  in  the  market.

Gentlemen  :—\  take  pleasure  in  certifying  that  after  many  years  of 
experience  in  this  city  of  pumping  out  cisterns,  cellars,  etc.  (meanwhile 
using,  I  believe,  every  variety  of  pump  manufactured),  I  have  found 
none  that  can  compare  with  your  No.  4  (lO-inch)  Force  Pump  now  in 
use  by  me.  I  can  discharge  a  larger  amount  of  water  with  it  and  throw 
it  further  with  two  men  than  with  three  men  and  any  other  pump  I  ever 
saw.     I  invite  the  skeptical  to  come  and  see  my  pump  work. 

Very  truly  yours,

Dear  Sir  .-—Yours  of  the  24th  inst.  at  hand.     I  think  the  pump  re- 
ferred to  is  a  very  good  one.     It  will  throw  more  water  for  the  power 

exerted  than  any  pump  we  ever  had.     I  have  two  of  them. 

Yours,

we  have  ever  seen.

say  that  my  experience  with  pumps  has  been  very  extensive,  and  as  re- 
gards the  Oscillating  Pump,  beg  to  say,  that  I  had  .one  of  the  hand  power

Oscillating  Pumps  in  use  during  tho  Centennial,  and  it  gave  me  perfect 
satisfaction.  It  is  simple  in  its  construction,  and  displaces  a  very  large 
-quantity  of  water.     They  hav    also  hand  power  pumps.

Gents  .-—The  12-inch  Bilge  Pump  we  bought  of  you  gives  perfect 
satisfaction  ;  it  works  admirably,  lifting  water,  rock  and  sand  19  feet 
from  our  culvert.  It  is  doing  more  with  three  men  than  two  Douglaa 
pumps  we  have  with  six  men.  We  are  free  to  say  that  we  never  saw  a 
pump  worked  lift  half  the  quantity  of  water  with  double  the  power.

I  take  great  pleasure  in  saying  that  the  No.  2  Sluthour  Pump  I 
bought  of  you  gives  me  the  most  perfect  satisfaction.  We  had  a  fire 
here  a  few  days  ago,  and  I  ran  a  hose  up  on  my  house  100  feet  long  and 
watered  my  own  and  my  neighbors'  roofs  completely.  If  I  could  not 
^et  another,  I  would  not  part  with  it  for  four  times  the  price.

Philadelphia,  January  25th,  1875. 
It  affords  us  great  pleasure  to  state  that  your  one-hundred  gallon 
Bilge  Pump  lifted  the  water  from  a  well  in  our  basement,  24  feet  deep 
with  a  rapidity  and  ease  that  is  truly  wonderful.     We  cheerfully  recom-' 
mend  your  Pumps  to  the  public  as  the  best  in  the  market,  and  doubt 
aiot  all  giving  them  a  trial  will  be  delighted  with  their  working. 

Respectfully  yours,

TTiis  is  to  Certify^  That  I  have  been  master  of  vessels  and  a  sea- 
faring man  most  of  my  life,  and  I  have  used  many  pumps  and  seeu 
many.  I  purchased  two  of  the  No.  3  Slulhour  Bilge  Pumps,  and  I  can 
safely  say  that  they  are  far  beyond  anything  in  the  market,  as  they  aro 
less  liable  to  choke,  and  lift  more  water  with  much  less  power  than 
anything  I  have  ever  come  across,  and  I  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all 
and  any  one  needin'^  a  pump.
